“Telepixels” is a collection of 2,222 pixel art pieces inspired by old-school TV shows. 289 original assets across 8 categories Each piece looks like a miniature diorama: a room surrounding the screen and a “channel” inside the monitor. You watch as if you’re switching channels and discovering a new little episode. Two layers of the world—the external set and the on-screen channel—offer more narrative depth and greater variety. Telepixels was born from watching an old TV. You flip through the channels, the signal cuts out, but you stay anyway to catch one more scene. I capture that feeling in pixel form. A device. A room. A world inside the screen.

Screen Scene and Floors define the world inside the screen. Character is the main protagonist of the broadcast. Table, and Background make up the external set. Old TVs had them. A small screen, a few colors, a simple room. But inside those limits you could imagine anything. Telepixels is a way to preserve that kind of imagination. Not as a story you read, but as a signal you collect.
I remember the cartoons I looked forward to every day. I remember my first console games. And that atmosphere that can never be recaptured... The click of buttons, the faint signal, the static that seemed almost alive. You didn’t choose the content. You tuned in. Telepixels turns this ritual into a collectible system. Each token is a small scene centered around a TV and a separate world inside the screen. Created from 289 original assets, arranged into 2,222 broadcasts.
